Sinner on his Paris debut: "A difficult draw

The world No.1 arrives in Paris with ambitions despite a complicated draw.

Jannik Sinner has yet to shine at the Paris-Bercy tournament, with a 2nd-round exit last year and two first-round eliminations in 2022 and 2021.

With the status he has acquired this season, the Italian is clearly the favorite to win the event for the first time in his career.

At a press conference on Saturday, he spoke in particular about the difficult draw that awaits him: "I hope it will be a good tournament for me. It's a tough draw, especially on this surface where the big servers are at ease.

I'm trying to prepare as well as possible for the first match. It's always complicated to face Ben Shelton, for example."
